Samantha Chisholm

​

Hello. My name is Samantha and I am the owner and one of the swim instructors. I am so grateful and thrilled work with our swimmers to help them gain confidence and safety in the water. I am so very passionate about being a form of guidance and support for new and avid swimmers, alike. 

​

A bit about me: I have been a certified swim instructor, with the Lifesaving Society Board for13 years and have worked at various swim-instructing organizations. In additional to instructing, I am also very passionate about supporting individuals with autism, and work as a behaviour therapist during the school year. I can't wait for another amazing year!

Kendra Murray

 

Hi! I am happy to be one of the experienced swim instructors of the Team, this year. I have been a competitive swimmer for over a decade and also a swim instructor. Another passion of mine is the sciences, and I am currently studying Computer Science at the University of Victoria.

 

Through my experience in competitive swimming and my time as a swim instructor, I have developed a strong passion for the sport. I enjoy coaching other in swimming so that they can build confidence, including skills and safety in the water.

 

I am excited to share my love of swimming with my students and help them achieve their goals in a fun, positive, and supportive environment.

Corrado Tumminieri

 

Hello! My name is Corrado, and I am excited to be part of the Samantha's Learn to Swim team.

​

I have experience teaching swimmers of all ages, from young children learning the basics to adults improving their skills.

 

I believe swimming is an essential life skill.

My goal is to create a safe and encouraging environment where swimmers feel comfortable and confident. I adapt my teaching approach to each swimmer's needs while helping them develop strong swimming skills.

​

Whether your goal is water safety, confidence-building, or stroke development, I look forward to helping you succeed in the water.

Hi everyone! My name is Sophia and I am 24 years old. Swimming has been a huge part of my life for a long time and I am motivated to share my experience with other swimmers.

 

I began as a competitive swimmer for 7 years, then I was a lifeguard for 5 years, and I’ve been passing on my love for swimming as a teacher for 6 years now.

 

Swimming is not only a fundamental skill when it comes to water safety, but I teach because it allows me to watch my swimmers grow and develop that same passion I have for the sport.
